Abstract

This paper proposes a Reinforcement Learning (RL) based technique to develop a simple neural network controller for the task of waypoint navigation in quadrotors. In this paper, the application of Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic (TD3) Policy Gradient algorithm for high and low-level control implementation for quadrotors is discussed. The proposed methods are tested on high fidelity Gym-Pybullet-Drones simulator. The effectiveness of the methods developed is validated through numerical simulations. The simulation results indicate that both control policies are successful in navigating through the assigned waypoint, with the low-level controller being accurate in the nominal flight conditions. In the presence of disturbance inputs, the high-level controller performs better when compared to the low-level controller.
